Online application for CSQ - PEQ through Arrima (2024)
- Thread starter Ankit05
- Start date
No, only an intention to refuse for spouse French test which isn't required under old rules. Replied with a letter explaining that we were under old rules as we were in Quebec before the rules changed.
Timeline:
1st Dec 2023 - Application submitted Arrima
8th Jan 2024 - Request for Democratic values test - completed same day
26th April 2024 - Intention to refuse - replied same day
16th May 2024 - Avis de verification
It is 6 months today so not sure if there is still request for interview coming after the Avis but that would put our application around 8-9 months if that happens.
Does anybody know of anyone who has waited longer than 6 months? Our application is quite straight forward under the old rules so nit sure what is happening.

I haven't heard anyone who has waited more than 6 months. I have a couple of friends who submitted the application together as a couple in the beginning of December 2023 and received CSQ not even 3 months after. They were under the new rules so them both had to take the test. In January/ February 2024 MIFI asked the main applicant to send latest pay-checks and that was it.
Hi! I applied with the old rules too (before july 2020) and i still have no answer or whatsoever. I'm kinda worried after reading this to be honest. Do you know other people that were successful in their application using the old rules?
Your answer would be appreciated!
No, I don't know anybody else unfortunately which is why I am stressing a little. Old rules are much more straight forward so don't understand what is taking too long.
When did you apply?
I applied end of march so i have no news at all other than the democratic values exam.
Had you written an explained letter when applying that you are applying with the 2020 rules?
Yes, I sent a letter of explanation and copy of the transitional measures from their website. I also sent bank statements and work permit to prove we were in Quebec before July 22nd 2020.
Well yea we needed to send the documents but the explanation letter did you send it un thr very beginning or after the intention of refuse?
After the intention to refuse. I am thinking it may be that there was no spouse French results uploaded so the application was screened before processing started when it changed to En traitement and triggered the intention to refuse because no proof of spouse French. Who knows though.
Maybe. I actually put the explanation from the very beginning cuz i thought something like this might happen. But please keep me posted even in private dm if you want. Wishing you the best of luck and i will update you too in case i have any news
